HF APRS. raspberry pi OS - not seeing all maps
|
i have been investigating HF aprs. for a few months now and have not been able to see map outside my very local area: and it is constant - no changes
?
1. ?HF APRS -yaac. 1.0-beta202
2. direwolf
3. raspberry pi os (rpi5)
4. do have gps
(see current screen shot)
?
what do i need to do to see anything different¡ and moving?

Well, first off, looking at your map window, the IP blinkenlight (indicating your APRS-IS connection) is black, indicating it is working but idle. The RF blinkenlight is gray, indicating it is disconnected from Direwolf (and therefore not receiving _any_ RF
packets, VHF or HF).
You need to start Direwolf _before_ you start YAAC so YAAC has something to connect to. And you have to use the correct port type in YAAC (AGWPE or KISS-over-TCP) to match your Direwolf.
The two problems are indicating that you are only receiving Internet traffic according to your port filter settings.
Hope this helps.

Greetings.
I was going back over old emails to ensure I had all the reported bugs dealt with for the next build, and realized I had only answered half of your question. The reason you only have street map data up to a certain point is that is the default area of maps that will be downloaded by the configuration wizard. If you want more, go to the menu choice File->OpenStreetMap->Download Pre-Imported Tiles, and select the area for which you want to download tiles, as a center point (defaulting to the center of your map window at the time you open the download dialog) and a radius. YAAC will then reach out to my website and download the latest tile files I have posted that cover the circular area you specified. It is possible to have the entire planet's worth of data, but that is several gigabytes of data, and most people don't need it beyond a couple hundred miles except for HF APRS and mobile users. You can also click a checkbox in the expert-mode Configuration dialog to cause YAAC to automatically download any missing tile files for areas you try to display. This is off by default to keep mobile users from having response errors (if they don't have mobile Internet) or from running up their cellphone bill (if they do). Hope this helps.
